CRASH STRESS Research from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia has shown that families involved in car crashes are often affected by acute stress disorders that last far beyond any physical injuries. After an accident, parents should be on the lookout for a change in kids' grades or loss of concentration, and increased tearfulness or jumpiness in all family members...
...know that teachers and principals have a very tough job. And of course they should be on the lookout for signs of violent behavior. But let's keep our hysteria to a dull roar, shall we? Becca Johnson shouldn't be punished for doodling. If anything she should be rewarded for showcasing her pent-up annoyance in such a peaceful and non-destructive manner.

At about 4 a.m. last Tuesday, 16 reservists of the 5th Infantry Brigade began moving forward again, peering through night-vision goggles as they searched for a house to use as a lookout.

...Until recently, Yemeni officials had refused even to give the FBI and CIA a list of the prisoners incarcerated in Yemen for the Cole bombing and other terrorist activities. Then, at about 9:30 p.m. on Feb. 11, the FBI released an urgent warning and BOLO - be on the lookout - for 17 Yemenis and Saudis whose names had come up when a Yemeni held at Guantanamo told FBI agents that an attack was being planned for the next day, Feb. 12, either in the US or Yemen. But within 24 hours after the BOLO went on the FBI website...
